When building a gaming PC, is single-core performance still top priority? I picked up a Ryzen 7 2700, but I'm debating swapping it for 2700x or an i5-9600k.

The higher-order bit here is: don’t buy that 60 Hz monitor. Trust me on this

I meant: for gaming, getting a 144+ Hz monitor > upgrading an already-decent Ryzen IMHO

FWIW I agree with Mathias. 144Hz is luuuuuush for gaming

Out of curiosity, is there a way to detect the screen refresh rate with JS? I was trying to hack something with requestAnimationFrame but no luck so far :/

I don’t think there is (but @DasSurma really is the expert here). You shouldn’t need to, though — rAF lets the browser decide. If you need time-based rendering, you want something else anyway.
